[Rhodes22-list] What is sail area of 175% and 130% genoas

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I can't put my finger on it right now, but I'm sure I've seen figures that
the IMF main is about 100 sf and the 175 Genoa is about twice that -- 200
sf. I love my 175, as it gives me options. On very light air days, I can
unroll the whole thing and pick up quite a bit of speed. I'm sure there are
disadvantages to rolling that much sail and how it affects the shape of the
sail, but then I don't race and I'm not worried about getting every bit of
power out of the sail shape as I can.
